Isaiah 55
1 “All you [people who are in exile], listen to me! [It is as though] [MET] you are thirsty, so come and get water from me! [It is as though] you have no money, but you can come and get things from me [that are like] wine and milk! You can get [what you need from me], [and] you will not need to give me any money for them!
Ó todos vós que tendes sede, vinde às águas; e vós que não tendes dinheiro, vinde, comprai, e comei; vinde, comprai, sem dinheiro e sem preço, vinho e leite.
2 [What you really need is to have a close relationship with me], so (why do you spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need?/you should not spend money to buy things that do not supply what you really need.) [RHQ] (Why do you work hard to get money to buy things that do not (satisfy your [inner beings]/cause you to be happy)?) [RHQ] Pay attention to what I say and acquire what is really good [MET]! If you do that, then you will truly be happy [MET].
Por que gastais dinheiro naquilo que não é pão, e vosso trabalho naquilo que não pode trazer satisfação? Ouvi-me com atenção, e comei o que é bom, e vossa alma se deleite com a gordura.
3 Listen to me and come to me; pay attention to me, and if you do that, you will have new life in your souls. I will make an agreement with you that will last forever to faithfully love you like I loved [King] David.
Inclinai vossos ouvidos, e vinde a mim; ouvi, e vossa alma viverá; porque convosco farei um pacto eterno, [tal como] as firmes bondades prometidas a Davi.
4 By what he did, I showed [my power to many] people-groups; I caused him to be a leader and commander [DOU] over [the people of many nations].
Eis que eu o dei [para ser] testemunha aos povos, [como] príncipe e governante dos povos.
5 And similarly, you will summon people of other nations to come to you, nations that previously you have not heard about, and they had not heard about you; and they will come to you quickly because [they will have heard that I], Yahweh, your God, the Holy One of Israel, have honored you.
Eis que chamarás a uma nação que não conheceste, e uma nação que nunca te conheceu correrá para ti, por causa do SENHOR teu Deus, o Santo de Israel; porque ele te glorificou.
6 Seek [to know] me while it is still possible for you to do that; call to me while I am near!
Buscai ao SENHOR enquanto se pode achar; invocai-o enquanto ele está perto.
7 Wicked [people] should abandon their wicked behavior, and evil people should stop thinking what is evil. They should turn to me, and if they do that, I will act mercifully toward them; they should turn to me, their God, because I will fully pardon them [for all the wicked things that they have done].
Que o perverso deixe seu caminho, e o homem maligno [deixe] seus pensamentos, e converta ao SENHOR; então dele terá compaixão; [converta] ao nosso Deus, porque ele grandemente perdoa.
8 I, Yahweh, declare that what I think is not the same as what you think, and what I do is very different from what you do.
Pois meus pensamentos não são vossos pensamentos, nem vossos caminhos são meus caminhos, diz o SENHOR.
9 Just as the sky is far above the earth, what I do is far greater than what you do, and what I think is much greater than what you think.
Porque [tal como] os céus são mais altos que a terra, assim também meus caminhos são mais altos que vossos caminhos, e meus pensamentos [mais altos] que vossos pensamentos.
10 Rain and snow come down from the sky, and they cause the ground to be moist before the moisture returns [to the sky and produces more clouds]. When the ground becomes moist, it causes plants to sprout and grow, with the result that the soil produces seed for the farmer [to plant] and [grain to produce flour to make] bread for people to eat.
Porque tal como a chuva e a neve desce dos céus, e para lá não volta, mas rega a terra, e a faz produzir, brotar, e dar semente ao semeador, e pão ao que come;
11 And similarly the things that I promise to do, I will [always] cause to happen; my promises will [always] be fulfilled [LIT]. They will accomplish the things that I gave them to accomplish [DOU].
Assim também será minha palavra, que não voltará a mim vazia; ao contrário, ela fará o que me agrada, e cumprirá aquilo para que a enviei.
12 You will leave [Babylon] joyfully, you will have peace as I lead you out. [It will be as though] the hills and mountains will sing joyfully, and the trees in the fields will clap their hands.
Porque com alegria saireis, e em paz sereis guiados; os montes e os morros cantarão de alegria perante vossa presença, e todas as árvores do campo baterão palmas.
13 Instead of thornbushes and briers, pine/cypress [trees] and myrtle [trees] will grow [in your land]. As a result of that, people will honor me much more; and what I do will remind everyone that [I do what I have promised].”
Em lugar do espinheiro crescerá o cipreste, e em lugar da urtiga crescerá a murta; e isso será para o SENHOR como um nome, como um sinal eterno, que nunca se apagará.
